D Troubleshooting

This appendix addresses some of the typical problems you might face as the administrator of the SKM.

Table 142 Common problems

Problem

Possible solution

Unable to connect to the

Management Console

Check the browser version and make sure that it supports 128–bit

encryption. Check the location bar in the browser window and make

sure that it is connecting to the SKM via HTTPS and that the port number

is correct. The default web administration port is 9443.

Unable to log into the

Management Console

Make sure that cookies are enabled on the browser. Make sure that the

user account was granted the “Web Admin Access” privilege. Make

sure that the “Web Administration” service is running.

Unable to log in via SSH

Make sure that the user account was granted the “SSH Admin Access”

privilege. Make sure that the “SSH Administration” service is running.

Unable to connect to the console

Check the serial terminal emulation application and configure the

following settings: 9600 baud rate, 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop

bit), and hardware flow control enabled.

Unable to ping the device

Check the network connection on the SKM. The boot up procedure

configures the bottom–most interface of the device.

System reset to the factory settings

The SKM detected severe disk corruption that could not be repaired. The

configuration should be restored from backup.

Lost the “admin” account password

and no other users exist.

Contact Technical Support.

Unable to create certificate request

Check the country name and make sure that it is the two letter country

code. For example, the country code for the United States is the two

letters “US”.

Device hangs when started or

restarted

Check the SKM for peripherals (keyboard, mouse, etc.), which may

impede a clean start.
